It praises the enemies of the League who recent- ly tried (and failed) to launch a new anti-League movement in North Da- kota. Just one word of answer: The polit- ical campaign of the League-in South Dakota will be run by the South Da- kota members—the candidates the League puts up will be of the farm- wards their organizations to protect themselves, nor the hundreds of thousands paid by the big interests to help elect their men to office. Of course, it is needless to go on in this strain, but it makes us mad. Just as soon as we organize to get a square deal with the other man that is or- . ganized for self protection, they holler “traitor,” etc. Now I think.that 90 per cent of the farmers are League members in this county, and ‘that “we’ll stick” when the time comes to go to the polls.

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Please find enclosed a letter I wrote to the Western Farm Life, answering an editorial by “Farmer Putnam,” also the article. You can do as you like with them. W. L. TRIPLETT. Mr. Triplett’s answer to Western Farm Life follows: Editor, Western Farm Life: In your last - issue and the issue before you took a rap at the Nonpartisan league— not sane criticism, but abuse and vituperation. Old “Farmer” (?) Put- nam says: “Sounds like they want to hog the whole works an@ that don’t sound good to me.” Now if the farm- er isn’t entitled to hog all his own products, I would like for the editor of “Farmer (?) Putnam to tell ius through their columns who is. ' The other fellow has been hogging it all heretofore and we haven’t heard a protest from you or “Farmer”.(?) Putnam, so I suppose it suits you-per- fectly. e - The farmers are learning whe:-the hogs are, and they are going to take things into their own hands, you and Western Farm Life to the contrary notwithstanding. They have played the game of watchful waiting—wait- ing for the other fellow to do some- thing—till they are disgusted. I like Is This Fake farmers who do not belong to it. There are a few farm paper editors that I know of who have investigated the Nonpartisan league and commented and discussed it in gentlemanly and impartial manner. Such papers will have my support in the future. I sup- - pose the regime of 1914, including the Ludlow massacre, suited “Farmer” (?) Putnam perfectly. If this is to be your future editorial . policy, you will oblige me by discon- tinuing my paper at once. W. L. TRIPLETT. THEY KNOW SORLIE’'S KICK Milnor, N. D. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Enclosed. find clippings from the Hartland (Minn.) Herald, in which you will notice a letter from O. J. Sorlie: to his home editor, which should not . go unchallenged. ANDREW WARKE. The clipping contains this state- ment of Mr. Sorlie: “The facts are, this so-called N. P. league is a cross between socialism and anarchism and the agitators that preach it should not be tolerated in any community.” He also says the League is losing ground in North Dakota. The League is not losing ground and on the contrary is much stronger than it was a year ago.
